Border Defender

These heavily armored soldiers don’t train for maneuverability, but rather for immovability. Taking advantage of their weighty armor, border defenders can hold back an onslaught of enemies intent on breaking through their line. The majority of border defenders were laborers who joined the military to gain citizenship, though a noteworthy minority are from stouter non-human races.
